Hi,
I'm looking for correct parameters to make a particle script that should look like a flexible rope that spans from one prim to the other. It should expand when the prims move away from each other. What I've got now is a modified laser particle script, but that will interrupt the rope so that it's not very useful  Maybe you can point me to the right direction to find the parameters that I need.

Have you been to The Particle Lab? If you can think of an example of particle use, I bet Jopsey has an example there..

Jim if you know how to set your particles to stream outwards in a particular direction, set the target to your 2nd prim, and then add an acceleration of <0,0,-1> this will cause them to sag _____________________

You may want to look into using either the LockGuard of LockMesiter systems.

Yeah, Jopsy Pendragon has the most extensive tutorials on particle effects that I know of. You can try a search for 'Teal', which is the particle lab. I will send you a LM tho just in case search isn't working properly when you check it out.
[Edit] I can't bring up your profile on SL right now because of the search glitching. I added you to friends tho, and will send it to you when it lets me see your profile. |
